I think the 1LE package is so important that I was willing to give up all other options to have it...and am very happy with my choice. My only difference is in our opinion of the NPP. Noise without performance is useless in my opinion, but I know I am i the minority.

It has slightly more aggressive gearing. 3.91's come in the rear and the first few gears in the tranny are a touch more aggressive. That's really the only "straight line speed" advantage. Note it'll come with higher cruising RPM's on the highway, so fuel economy is hit for the slightly increased straight line speed.

1LE at the minimum...all other options to your liking/budget

If good handling and/or tracking is a top priority then the 1LE is the one to look for. If just cruising or drag racing then the standard SS is the better choice. It still handles well, and has a better ride. If you just like the wheels the aftermarket can help. The 1LE is not any faster than the standard SS in a straight line, but on a track with curves it will run and hide from a standard SS if you know how to drive it. I have owned one of each. I much prefer the 1LE, love the handling, although I did mod the suspension on the '11 SS. So it was no slouch. Also know you can buy the 1LE suspension cheap if you find a really good deal on the standard SS. I am not a fan of the 1LE Goodyears. You cannot drive on them when the temps dip below 25F and they are very slippery when cold. There are much better compromise tires out there. Both of my build threads may help with your decision.

I owned a '14 2SS/RS, and traded it in for a '14 2SS/RS/1LE. If I had to choose between RS and 1LE, I would go with 1LE because I value handling and performance over the RS stuff. NPP is a must, and I love the recaros. If you're tall, consider finding one without a sunroof (especially if you might want to take it to the track). Good luck!
